Software is a key component to success for any modern business, no matter if that is a simple website or complex system of programs. However, it may not be easy to employ developers in your city/country. That is when outsourcing comes for help.

Eastern and Central Europe are currently some of the most popular destinations for offshoring software projects. According to research conducted by StackOverflow, approximately 1 million programmers are located there. The top-3 country list looks like this:

1. Poland – 250 000 programmers
2. Ukraine – 170 000 programmers
3. Czech Republic – 100 000 programmers

In this article, we will investigate why Poland takes first place on this list and what you should know about outsourcing your software to Poland.

General information about the software development in Poland

Poland is one of the main software offshore destinations because of various reasons.

First of all, the cost of the workforce in Poland is much lower than in most other European countries or in the USA. This difference, however, does not mean lower quality or less experienced developers. Most polish graduates are highly educated and can immediately start working for foreign clients. The main reason for comparably low workforce prices is that it is much cheaper to live in Poland than in the USA. As a result, software developers can be hired much cheaper.

Poland has the optimal location in Europe with flights from Germany, France, or Sweden, taking less than 2 hours. Because of Poland’s strategic location, a Polish IT outsourcing business may collaborate with your team without having to worry about significant time zone disparities.

As a result, Poland has become a desirable location for outsourcing software development.
